Going to be playing The Confirmation with my 9th PFS character soon, and had an inspiration for a character. Don't know what the build is exactly, though.
The name was the first thing: The Inevitable. A guy who pushes through attacks, spells, etc., and slowly but surely debuffs, disables, and triumphs through force of will.
An oversimple sketch is a grappler, but that's not what I imagine. Rather, something that considers all major threats, and first maximizes defenses against them. High AC, CMD, DR, saves, rerolls for failed saves, immunities, resistances, deflecting attacks, evasion, all that kind of stuff.
And then be able to advance while shutting down the enemy. So like, resist/deflect/something the first worst attack from almost anything, then start to debuff or deny/prevent. Knowledges? Monk stuff? Any ideas for this build? High hp, certainly.
In balance I'd say, what this build gives up, is the ability to do a lot of damage fast. Rather, it focuses on certain avoidance of a few rounds of any potential enemy's attacks, then progressively debilitates its enemy, then if nobody else is there to do damage, can safely start to do enough damage itself to incapacitate the enemy.
No need to be OP, but PFS wise, should be okay though early levels (though undeveloped,) should be strong from levels 5-9, and should either stay strong or at least not peter off from 10-12.
Monk, Paladin, Inquistor, and Barbarian all thematically fit I'd say. Dwarf or some resistant race like Aasimar or Tiefling maybe, too.
